Okay, let's say you're right. The govt created internet, even with the heavily manipulated social media silos, has nearly wiped out all credibility of corp news which is totally controlled by actual govt alphabet employees. They also had a plan to wipe out the messaging outlets where their control was greatest?

Even with lots of alphabet employees at the major internet platforms & manipulative algorithms they clearly can't totally control what people believe. The govt didn't actually create any of these things. Even when they were involved in some tech kernal, much smarter people built the internet, & then authoritarians in govt retroactively seek to manipulate & control what is built after the fact. When the system is decentralized enough, they fail. But they do love to be feared & held up as all powerful, because that's how sick, weak, authoritarian types work. They have a desparate need to maintain a constant undercurrent of lies to help them protect their own false sense of reality.

Even if Bitcoin was secretly created by the govt, the system has no central point of control, it's not the sort of thing that govts tend to create with the aim of controlling people. When Gavin Andresen went to talk to the CIA Satoshi disappeared. What would it look like if Bitcoin was created by a couple of cypherpunks who knew that they'd be a potential social weakness in the system (as a central point of attack) if they created such a thing & then could be identified. Generally, the people who believe the sort of things you believe know absolutely nothing about Bitcoin & how it works, OR the history of development & the culture around those developments.

i probably knew about Bitcoin before you did. i used to buy research chemical psychedelics on the internet around the time of Silk Road, though i never used Bitcoin or Silk Road itself, but i knew about it.

it was only years later that Bitcoin started to generate buzz as an investment.

when Bitcoin first appeared we all understood it was for buying drugs online.

*flexes internet muscles*

I mined Bitcoin in 2009.

Oh are we having an internet dick measuring contest?

Back in my day, we had to download music from IRC XDCC bots, files sharing websites, and FTP servers. It took an hour to download a 3 minute song.
